Luxury Travel to the Borana Conservancy

Found at the foot of Mount Kenya and located within the vast Ewaso ecosystem, you’ll find the rugged savannah of the Borana Conservancy.

Spread across a 91,000-acre landscape shared with the Lewa Wildlife Conservancy, this is an area of extraordinary beauty. There are snow-covered peaks and the glistening glaciers of Mount Kenya to the south, and a collection of mountains and desert to the north, making it a truly spectacular setting for your African adventure.

Home to over 400 species of birds and in excess of 50 indigenous tree families, in the Borana Conservancy you will also find some of Kenya’s most prolific wildlife such as giraffes, leopards, zebras, cheetahs, buffalos and impala. Equally, this conservancy is one of the best for spotting rare and endangered Kenyan wildlife such as rhinos, herds of migratory elephants and Grevy’s zebras.

Wildlife in this region has long been under threat from poachers in search of rhino horn, ivory and bushmeat. Additionally, local communities have been known to retaliate with violence when wildlife destroys their crops or livestock. It is the mission of the Borana Conservancy to protect this endangered habitat and its wildlife, in partnership with the local community.

The conservancy lends itself to a whole range of incredible activities, such as traditional game drives, trail running, treetop canopy tours and horseback riding, as well as fly-fishing excursions to Mount Kenya National Park.
